MJ talks about his itch, Giants fans go bobbing for baseballs and the San Diego Chargers have bolted out to a 3-0 start. Here's a look at the latest news from the world of sports.
Michael Jordan has talked publicly for the first time since he announced he's returning to the NBA. MJ says, "It's an itch that still needs to be scratched here, and I don't want that itch to bother me for the rest of my life. What I'm trying to do is get that last scratch in." (If it itches that much, he should get some powder.) Jordan will be playing at least two seasons for the Washington Wizards.
While Jordan is coming out of retirement, Allen Iverson has decided to end his career as a rapper. His CD was supposed to come out this month, but Allen is going to scrap the project all together. He released the single 40 Bars in October 2000 - but many people knocked it for having offensive language. No big deal, as long as Allen is still playin' ball, who cares about his rap?
The American League playoff spots have already been decided but there are still some tight races in the National League. Arizona has a slim lead over the Giants and Atlanta is trying to hold off Philadelphia so they can qualify for the playoffs for the 11th year in a row. Check back with Kidzworld once the season ends for our World Series Preview.
The Barry Bonds homerun watch has turned McCovey Cove, San Francisco into a chaotic traffic jam of boats. Dozens of fans in kayaks, canoes and rafts crammed the cove outside Pacific Bell Park on September 30th - hoping Barry would hit his next homerun out of the park and into the water. It never happened, but Barry still has 69 homeruns and has six games left to tie or break Mark McGwire's record of 70.
In the NFL, Doug Flutie must be having an extra bowl of Flutie Flakes every morning. Doug and runningback, LaDainian Tomlinson, have helped the San Diego Chargers start the season 3-0. Not bad considering the Chargers were a pathetic 1-15 last season.
